Martha Stewart Says Prison Cost Her $1 Billion

Martha Stewart tells
ABC's "Nightline"
that her past jail sentence might have cost her namesake company
more than $1 billion.

"I was pissed. OK. Pissed that something could actually affect
that. The company had nothing to do with anything. But yet,
because I am the face and the brand, my person -- it certainly
had a harmful effect. When you are prosecuted in such a
way, and a great portion of wealth is dissipated, all I can
think, so much, is what I could've done with all of that for the
good of mankind. And -- and I hope I can continue."
